Helix arbustorum v. cincta and Limnsea glabra near 



Lincoln. — At the side of one particular road near Lincoln, the variety cincta 

 of H. arbustorum is exceedingly common ; this shell is usually somewhat rare, so 

 that its occurrence in large numbers may be worth recording. The only other 

 shell hitherto found near Lincoln that appears worthy of notice is Limncea glabra, of 

 which I have taken several specimens in a pond to the south of the town, which 

 has been recently ruined as a collecting ground by a new railway. [This locality is 

 in ' South Lincolnshire,' and the first-mentioned one is in ' North Lincolnshire,' of 

 the Conchological Society's record -scheme]. — W. W. Fowler, Lincoln, March 

 10th, 1886.
